var JUST = require('just');
var just = new JUST({ root : __dirname + '/view', useCache : true, ext : '.html' });
just.render('page', { title: 'Hello, World!' }, function(error, html) {
console.log(error);
console.log(html);
});You may use JavaScript object as root.
var JUST = require('just');
var just = new JUST({ root : {
layout: '<html><head><title><%= title %></title></head><body><%*%></body></html>',
page: '<%! layout %><p>Page content</p>'
}, useCache : true
});
just.render('page', { title: 'Hello, World!' }, function(error, html) {
console.log(error);
console.log(html);
});See full example in examples folder.
<%= someVar %>
<% for (var i = 0; i < articles.length; i++) { %>
<% this.partial('article', { article: articles[i] }); %>
<% } %>
or
<% if (user.authenticated) { %>
<%@ partials/user %>
<% } else { %>
<%@ partials/auth %>
<% } %>
<%! layout %>
or
<%! layout { customVar: 'Hello, World!' } %>
Use
<%*%>
in parent template to define the insertion point.
<%@ partial %>
or
<%@ partial { customVar: 'Hello, World!' } %>
<%[ blockName %>
<p>This is block content</p>
<%]%>
Use
<%* blockName %>
in parent template to define the insertion point.
Blocks supports more than one level of inheritance and may be redefined.
<%? someVar == 1 %>
<p>Var is 1</p>
<%: someVar == 2 %>
<p>Var is 2</p>
<%:%>
<p>Var is other</p>
<%?%>
<%| comments comment %>
<p><%= comment.text %></p>
<%|%>
